Experimental space for art and science
How does science deal with social issues? How do artists deal with them? A rich supporting program for the Manifesta exhibition "Transactions" at the University of Zurich explores such questions with concerts, among other things.
The walk-in installation "Sound of Science" by Basel sound artist Fritz Hauser, created especially for the exhibition in the atrium, provides both quiet and louder sounds. He listened for noises in the university's laboratories and workplaces and combined them to create an ever-changing sound concert.
For "Transactions", scientists also work together with artists. This has resulted in artistic installations that arouse curiosity, provoke laughter or make you think. Together with works by internationally renowned artists such as Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens, Niklas Nitschke & Vadim Zakharov or Studio Camp, transactions between artistic and scientific ways of thinking and seeing have been created.
